Hi all, As I'm working on finalizing the international jury for this year (more details below, that I shared before), there are some specific characteristics that I would especially appreciate suggestions for (keeping the mentioned constraints in mind):
- Wikimedia Commons uploaders with a lot of features/good quality images - A Wikipedian that is very active in the heritage articles field (and also has a sense for quality images) - Someone with a background in countries in Asia, Africa, North America and/or Eastern Europe. - A professional prize winning photographer Or a combination of those, of course! Please get in touch with me directly if you have suggestions.
